the cuts

[AbeBeta]

This guy was paid Pro Bowl calibre money to play at a Pro Bowl level. So far, he's miles away from even sniffing that kind of performance. He leads the o-line and probably the team in procedure penalties with 9. Yeah, he's great. If that's giving it his all, like I said he sucks. Whether we're stuck with him or not doesn't change that.

Ya ever had back surgery? I see an all-pro prior to surgery and an average player after. Just what a doctor might expect.

or, it could be lack of effort as you suggest. though I see nothing in Rivera's history to suggest that he in any way is a sandbagger. In fact, up to signing with us he'd been singled out as an excellent leader and a mentor for young linemen.

Us scientists always say the simplest solution is usually correct.

So which is a simpler solution? Back injury = poor play. Or complete and total change in character = poor play?

Rivera is the best RG on the roster

And Tucker must be hands down the best LT on the roster. Actually, I think he's better than Pettitti, and while he was schooled yesterday, two of those sacks were because Bledsoe walked right into Daniels while Tucker was blocking him in order to get away from the rush stampeding up the middle.

You guys want to cut Torrin Tucker? A backup tackle who managed to do alright filling in at left tackle, and who gets paid the lowest possible salary? Then what, we'll just draft a left tackle in the first round, right? Along with somebody at all the other positions you want to cut the backups for?

Pretty bright eh? I think I have to go with Parcells on this, I think his ability to evaluate players might be a tad better than our faithful here.

hope rivera retires

cut larry allen
have you considered the cap cost of those two things happening at once?
this ain't madden football. you better be praying rivera can return to form cause your stuck with him after giving him a 9 mil bonus. who cares about tucker, rob is decent depth maybe someday he will be ready.fixing the oline is gonna be very tough if rivera can't get right because we've invested so much in him.

i didnt say cut larry. I do hope that Rivera either:
1) comes back next year back close to 100% and actual playing shape OR
2) needs to retire, and we are forced to get a replacement because we really need one.
